On the other hand, an FTC that was afraid to bring forward any cases that weren’t an automatic slam dunk wasn’t good either. Maybe changing the direction of the agency ruffled the feathers of those who prefer it operate in the same way it always had. Maybe LK is bad at running the agency, but the career politicians of Congress like Jim Jordan also have motivation to tear down anyone who actually threatens the power of the big corporations who legally bribe them each election cycle.

Different agency, but lots of people thought the DOJ’s case against the JetBlue/Spirit merger was too aggressive and would fail. Turns out a Reagan-appointed judge agreed the merger was anticompetitive. I’d like to see the government try and sometimes succeed rather than never try.
